Arrive in Cochin and drive up through the tea country of Munnar, drinking in the Cheyyappara and Valara Waterfalls and endless cardamom plantations along the way. Spend a full day among Munnar’s finest — Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Anamudi Peak, Kundala Lake and the Tea Museum.
Drive down to Alleppey, the ‘Venice of the East’, to cruise the backwaters aboard a houseboat or shikara, exploring canals, markets and the Kuttanad region, before returning to Cochin. Four days, three landscapes, one unforgettable round trip.
WHY GO?
A perfect short escape that delivers Kerala’s two greatest treasures — the misty tea hills and the emerald backwaters — in a single, easy loop. Wake to mountains, sleep to water, and fill the hours with waterfalls, boat rides and village life.
Ideal for long weekends and first-timers, it’s compact without feeling rushed, and beautiful in every direction. Small in days, huge in atmosphere.
